New Series x3650 Server Support?

[Simon <greminn@gmail.com>]

Hi There,

Wondering if any one has any info on the new IBM Series x3650 servers
running with Debian. In particualr with the upgraded ServeRAID-8k SAS
Controller option (25R8064) from IBM? This has full RAID 5 support
with battery backup of 72 hours.

Im guessing that the only issue with this server would be the raid
controller being too new for debian to recognise...?

This adaptor is showen as being supported by both RHEL and SLES:

And here is the IBM Redbook:

I would really appreciate any input here, esp from anyone from IBM on this list?

Thanks

Simon
